Does anyone on here play disc golf?

[SMRTSS1]

I didn’t realize that it used to be a regular golf course before a buddy mentioned that today. How long had it been closed? It’s nearly impossible to imagine one with how over grown that place is.

I moved in down the street in 2013 and it was an overgrown disaster then and from what I hear it was closed down for quite some time before that. They finished the lot and main building early last year.

I’ll shoot you a message. Will probably play somewhere else next weekend unless there’s no wind. Was really frustrating today playing that course in high winds. Lot of tight fairways and rough. I did awful today and realized how much arm strength and skill I’ve lost not playing the last 3 years.

Yeah, windy days suck so much. Oswego is really wooded but open at the same time, it's super protected from the wind for like 75% of the course, so I play there on days like today. West Chicago is the worst one though, even on a super calm day, there's still like 20mph winds there.

Got my first ace today at the Shorewood park course.

Which hole at shorewood? And grats!

1st hole, it was just straight luck. Thanks! First time playing that course and I really liked it, there's a lot of ace shots there. I just about had 3 for that same round, but almost doesn't count. I feel like that course was made for lefties, which I am. I want to only play there now.

I played for the first time today in Plainfield. Found it quite enjoyable and looking forward to checking out more courses. Scored a couple of extra discs in the tall grass too. Bonus for being able to ride the motorcycle with the equipment unlike regular golf!

I legit didn't even see that course until right now. Usually if I made my way down that far south I always played the Shorewood course, or went further to play the Mokena course, which BTW is pretty good and it is 27 holes.

I just played for the first time this year while in Austin TX back in June. Haven’t been out since Then though. I picked up a handful of discs but need to get out again.

We have a small course at work I’ve played before starting my day, that’s it.

Disc golf is the best. Hit up the Canyons in Lockport. It's a nationally ranked course. The Oaks in Mokena is good too. There's a ton of them around here. Shorewood, Manhattan, Joliet, etc.

I appreciate the suggestions!

Revived from the dead.

But I’m over here laughing after selling a used disc for $80.

Have been clearing out my collection lately and finally getting into the high dollar discs.

Some of those older discs are $$$

What you got? lol

The big ticket items I’ve sold have been Discmania Sky God 2s and Discraft Paul McBeth 4x claw discs.

 

[RedBeard]

The older Innova made Discmania stuff goes for good money. I’ve sold a bunch of standard C & S-Line discs for $30+.

Still have a few tour series discs like Night Strike FDs and Iron Samurai MD3s that should do $60-100.

I’ve been playing a lot this year. My favorite parks are Palatine, Campton Hills, Clark Park in Elk Grove, and there’s a couple good ones in Cary. Rolling knolls is a good one too but pretty challenging. I end up playing Randall Oaks a lot because it’s the closest and I can get a quick round or 2 in.

I never thought to see what older discs are worth. My uncle was actually a ranked disc golf player in the pdga and when he passed I kept a couple bins of his old discs.

For anyone that plays a lot or enough to justify the yearly $30 Udisc has a new ranking system so you can compare yourself to others on the same course. I do foresee that app getting greedy some time in the future though but we'll see. There's a lot of money grabbers starting to stick their bullshit into disc golf now because of the up-rise in popularity and $$$$.

EDIT: Udisc also has a lot of other really great features as well, I was just pointing that out.

 

[RedBeard]

Yeah UDisc is totally worth it if you get out and play regularly. Hopefully I get back into playing at some point.

I have been really liking UDisc. I like using it to find new course and read the reviews of a course. I also like that I can keep score on my Apple Watch, and if my friends I’m playing with have the yearly it will update their scores for them in their app.

I haven’t played in probably 5+ years. Have a handful of disc I’ll sell someone if interested. I’ll get them out and post what I have when I get home.

I'd be interested in what you all have for sale if it's not the crazy prices, lol

 

[10sec]

I'm always down to buy some used discs for reasonable prices.

 

[ldyzluvdis06]

I have no idea what they’re worth as I bought them 5-6 years ago. But I’d sell the lot for a reasonable offer and box them and ship them up to someone.

I have been playing alot of night rounds with glow discs, or dics with glow stickers on them. Got a light to light up baskets for putting, and a high end ultra violet flash light to light them. Way easier to find discs too.
